Abstract
Relying on Tinto's integration theory and Astin's involvement theory, this paper develops a conceptual model to explain how college students' online social networking (i.e. using Facebook) influences their social and academic social integration, and learning outcomes. Several rounds of focus group discussions were conducted to explore college students' current online social networking experience and their attitude toward using Facebook for education. Our findings indicate that students' online social networking is straightforwardly influential to their social learning, while its influence on the academic learning might be realized through a gradual and longitudinal process.
